So fucking cool. I like the acceleration. I was expecting a drawn out dramatic tenseness. I'm pleased as punch that the decided to take the fight to the bad guy. I can't help it but I'm a huge damn fan of the whole defeating a superior enemy by having the wits and intelligence to find and exploit its weakness. This was cleverly done here.

I take what I said about Slaine back a little. It's as I supposed but not done in the way I thought it would be. That after credit scene was brutal and awesome.

My like for the other characters has also strengthened. I like that Inaho isn't all prozac'd out after all. I could take or leave his sister but I like her more now after seeing her conflicted about not being able to fight. This episode also made me like Calm and Inko more. I also dig the LT. And the Captain joining up was surprising. Which is a good sign: that they can pack that much character into such a short time. And yes, the princess is somehow still kind of badass. I'm not sure why I like her so much as she hasn't really done much.
